Cleaning House - Episode 17: Devilish Maids
play

09/03/13 • 46 min

They're pretty, they're skinny, they've got a "brand new" show on Lifetime and no, I'm not talking about the Real Housemaids. Marc Cherry has gone and done it again folks. First he exposed America's housewives as Desperate and now him and false prophet Eva Longoria have appropriated Our culture and turned it into some cheap pulp fiction.

The time has come, the Housemaids are FINALLY going to weigh in on the Devious Maids "phenomenon." Recorded live from the Ace Hotel way back in June, listen in as we review the work of our distant cousins, the Hotel Maid, watch spam-like promo clips for Devious and generally discuss topics relevant to the week of June 25th.

It's a real time capsule people! And our most RATCHET episode yet.

And don't forget, this month, we release a new episode every week so tune in next week for more Housemaids silliness.

Cleaning House - Episode 19: Friend Vacation
play

09/26/13 • 74 min

In this whirlwind of a month, we've time travelled from all the way back in June 2013 to this weeks episode, set in the NEARLY present day.

Join us as we reunite for the first time in months in Rag's cozy, boho trailer in Provincetown, MA, the epicenter of all things spooky and gay. The date is mid-August and it feels as though summer may never end...

While blue collar Sponge has been waiting for work in the stock-yards of NYC, Rag started over with a new life in a different service industry.

The food is expensive, the decor is quaint, the conversation is honest and someone got a sunburn/a hangover... it's a Friend Vacation y'all!

Plus, find out why the pilgrims REALLY landed here first! We think the answer will TRULY surprise you.

Cleaning House

play

01/18/13 • 55 min

The gals are back for another SUPREMELY EVIL episode...

This week is an artisanal cocktail of diary entries, gchats, maid on maid gay action and just generally dishing dirt in a way that is completely inappropriate.

And with a little Dickensian twist of holiday lime we revisit the clients we would haunt as the ghosts of cleanings past, present and future.

WOULD YOU EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM THE HOUSEMAIDS?

Cleaning House - Episode 16: Maidland Grodiness Advisory System
play

07/08/13 • 88 min

This week we unveil our new Maidland Security Advisory System. This is both a tired joke from 11 years ago and a convenient way for us to impart the grodiness levels we encounter on a daily basis.

Just like the dated refference, the system goes from green to red, green being very nice houses with a very low risk of being grody, red being less attractive real estate with a very high likelihood of being completely disgusting
